Bozidar Djelic wants the international community to exert more pressure on the Pristina delegation during the Kosovo talks. “I have pointed to the constructiveness of our approach and the numerous original suggestions that we’ve put forward, the same of which cannot be said for the Kosovo Albanians, who have failed to introduce anything new during the current talks,” the deputy prime minister told Serbian journalists, following a meeting with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Djelic: Exert more pressure on Pristina Djelic stressed that the talks had reached a stalemate because of a lack of cooperation on the part of the Kosovo Albanians, and underlined that Belgrade had a “red line” that could not be crossed. “Germany has a central role in the talks because of its relations with Russia and the U.S., not to mention Wolfgang Ischinger’s presence in the Contact Group mediating Troika, and I think we’re in the right place here to draw their attention to Serbia’s arguments,” he added. The deputy prime minister reiterated that Steinmeier, who was elected SPD vice-president at the party’s congress where the two men had met earlier, had urged Belgrade to put forward as many proposals for compromise as possible during the negotiations. “It’s clear that the international community view December 10 as a key moment, though we haven’t been told that that will necessarily be the end of talks. I would even go so far as to say that his encouragement of Belgrade to continue putting forward constructive proposals represents some kind of guarantee of a platform for the Troika to suggest possible extension of the talks,” said Djelic. During his meeting with Steinmeier, it was pointed out to the deputy prime minister that Germany considered it vital to preserve stability in the region, and for Serbia to continue her democratic and European development, something that Germany was eager to support. During his four-day trip to Germany, Djelic visited Berlin, Forchheim and Stuttgart, where he spoke to leading German officials and businessmen, and also gave a lecture at the Friedrich Ebert Foundation.
